I love Anderson Cooper! It's a little disapointing that he is probably gay. Anyhow, this book explores his experiences growing up in the spotlight as the son of Gloria Vanderbuilt, compared to his experiences as a reporter on the scenes of major events such as the recent tsunami and Katrina. I love how he compares himself to a shark, always running after "blood" or the addiction to excitment he feels about being in the center of world events as they unfold. I learned so much through him about the staving children in Africa, what Katrina was really like for the people who endured it, and so much more. We are all the same with different challenges. It is amazing how the human spirit rises above and inspires!...less

My all time favorite book. I first read it in high school, and have read it several times since. If you haven't ever had the opportunity to read this book, do! I have heard some say that this book is depressing, but I don't think they really get it. There is so much though provoking symbolism that I pick up on new aspects of the author's message each time I read it. I also love the dry humor of Holden Caufield- it's a classic!...less

I'm not a huge Dr. Laura fan, but my neighbor is and she suggested this book. It puts much of the relationship responsiblity on the women, rather than the men conforming to bending to the women. This is the first book I have read where this approach has been taken: an education for women on how men really feel and think, and our responsiblity to compromise to their needs. ...less

Very interesting read because it surveyed mothers living in Washington D.C., where we lived at the time. They lacked a proper support system to be stay-at-home moms, or working mothers. They held much resentment toward husbands/fathers claiming they did nothing to help in the family, purposely worked long hours to avoid home life etc. Basically, Judith Warner was looking to the government to solve the crisis of anxiety in motherhood, citing in several other countries there are ample support programs (government funded childcare, better benefits from employers etc.) No where does she mention the benefit of a religious support group where family values are taught which leads to a greater support system of the family including husbands etc. It was interesting to see a "worldly view" and challenges of motherhood, and made me realize how blessed I am to have a different outlook and knowledge of eternal families!...less
